Steve's Segway Tours is now Steve's Segway Tours and Trikke Chicago! We are the official and exclusive Trikke tour and rental company, Trikke dealer, and Trikke representative for the entire Chicagoland area and Mars* (see note below).

I'm sure many of you are now thinking, "that's great Steve, congratulations - but what's a Trikke?". Trikkes are 3-wheeled carving vehicles with handlebars attached to a stem that comes up out of the base, much like on a Segway. There are 2 classes of Trikkes - fitness and electric, and there are many models of each. Fitness Trikkes are body-powered vehicles (BPV for short). They are propelled by the rider employing a proper carving technique, and hence are a great, great no or low impact workout. Electric Trikkes have motors that can be used exclusively to propel the Trikke forward, or to assist the rider when travelling uphill, into the wind, or to get up to speed. All electric Trikkes can be propelled using the same carving techniques as the fitness models, so you can add a bit of a workout to your adventure any time you want.

*Note - In my negotiations with the President of Trikke Tech Inc. - John Simpson, I asked for all of Illinois, or even the whole midwest to be the territory covered by my representation. He felt we should wait and see on this, so I asked for Mars (yes, the red planet) to be included. He laughed, and readily agreed. Come on NASA, let's get going on the colonization of Mars!

Done enough Segway tours with us for the time being? Looking for another cool and unique vehicle to tour around the Chicago parks, lakefront, and museums on? At Trikke Chicago we are the exclusive Trikke tour and rental (next section) company! Tours are conducted on our electric Trikkes and led by our fantastic Steve's Segway Tours awesome tour guides (they're so good, one superlative doesn't do them justice!). Private Trikke tours are available

We rent Trikkes! That may sound/seem obvious, but those of you knowledgeable about Segways in Chicago, know the Chicago Park District does not allow unsupervised Segway rentals. Hence, your choice is a guided Segway tour (of which Steve's Segway Tours is by far the best!), or bicycle rentals. Now, you can rent Trikkes!

We have Trikkes for all ages from 4 up! We rent fitness Trikkes as well as electric models. Youngsters will have to be content on body-powered (fitness) vehicles, but tweens, teens, and adults can all take their pick from our full line of Trikke models* (see note below).

*Note - Only returning electric rental and tour customers will be allowed to rent unsupervised the most powerful 36v and 48v Pon-e models. However, these will be "rentable" on guided Trikke tours!Book Trikke Rental Now

Note - Training (if needed) is included in the first hour of the Electric Trikke rental. That is why the first hour of rentals is more expensive relative to subsequent hours. No training is included in the fitness Trikke rental price. Choose the $35 one hour Trikke Training Session listed below for that.

Steve's Segway Tours and Trikke Chicago is the official Trikke dealer for the Chicagoland area (and Mars if you were paying attention earlier). We carry all models, most colors of all models, and lots of the key accessories. And if we don't have it we can get it quickly, and even have it shipped to you!

The purchase price from Trikke Chicago includes a Trikke training lesson free ($35+ value), if you purchase at least $300 in Trikke equipment. In addition, we will put most models together for you as well.

Not ready to purchase a Trikke but really intrigued by the concept and itching to try one (or many) out? You can make an appointment anytime to come for a 1 hour training session/lesson. This is very similar to the 1 hour rental listed above, but more intense and detailed. A training session isn't designed to just get you up and moving on a Trikke. It is geared toward people (and Martians?) interested in owning their own Trikke/s in the near future, so we want to train you to ride and carve turns, but we also want to open you up to how much fun, and what a great workout it will be as your skills progress.

Don't expect to absorb it all in one session. Once you purchase a Trikke carving vehicle from Trikke Chicago, you can always come back and ride with us, and we'll give you pointers (and let you try some of our other Trikke models).

At Steve's Segway Tours and Trikke Chicago we aren't just looking to sell you a Trikke, rent you a Trikke, or take you on a Trikke tour. We are trying to create a healthy, fun, Trikke community here in Chicagoland, and we want you to be a part of it.

Trikke Workout

Excited about Trikkes? I hope so. They're incredibly fun, addictive, and a great workout. I had a bad bicycle accident riding home from the Cubs game on April 10 (2012 if this ends up staying on here for a while). I broke a rib or two and had some muscle strains/tears as well. For a few weeks I couldn't Trikke. And I was going crazy! It's that addictive. I fully expect to trim down and lose the extra pounds that have been bugging me for ages.

Just 20 minutes a day is awesome. It's a full body no or low impact workout that is great for all ages. Former President Jimmy Carter is 87, and his wife Rosalynn is 84 and they ride body-powered Trikkes every day. President Carter not only swears by the Trikke workout, he also credits it as being the most important factor in the rehabilitation of his knees after his recent knee replacement surgery.
